All Alhaitham Skills, Talents, and Ascension Materials in Genshin Impact

Alhaitham is a 5-star Dendro Sword character released in Version 3.4 of Genshin Impact. Devilishly handsome with a devious streak on top, Alhaitham has immense power and acts as an onfield main DPS character. Alhaitham was an integral part of the Sumeru Archon Quest, assisting you and Paimon in your efforts to rescue Nahida and save Sumeru. This morally grey character will be a great addition to your Dendro teams, but you’ll have to master all of his complex abilities first.

How to unlock Alhaitham in Genshin Impact

Alhaitham will be obtainable on the Character Event Wish banner as a featured 5-star character in the first half of Version 3.4. Following this initial banner, Alhaitham won’t be able to be summoned to your account until he has rerun again. Make sure to pull Alhaitham if you want him instead of waiting for the next Character Event Wish banner.
